Hedy: unique programming language for kids
Hedy is a programming language for kids. Languages for adult are sometime just too challenging for young children; by working in a gradual way, Hedy makes programming easier and more fun!
What is Hedy?
Hedy is a progamming language for children (aged 10 and up) that want to learn programming. To learn programming you need to learn a lot of programming commands. Just like with leaarning to read, you need a lot of practice to memorize the right rules. Hedy makes practicing easier, because Hedy is a gradual language. That means you do not have to learn all commands from the beginning. First you learn a few, and then gradually more complex commands are added. Just like in language teaching, sentences increase in complexity over time.
